Re: Rothermel bed heater
When not having its picture taken it does, of course, do its work invisibly beneath the duvet. I think it's cheaper to run than a cat, though perhaps less companionable.

You could install a heat pad inside it. We have one behind our bathroom mirror and it gets notably warm to the touch. Link below to a large 100W version, I think we have a 25W behind the mirror. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Product...SABEgL35_D_BwE |
